The official also took issue with Cheney's assertion that a new interagency group tasked with overseeing terrorist interrogators will spend the bulk of its time deciding "who gets to ask what question and who's going to mirandize the witness."

And if the police fail to mirandize when they should, only the statements obtained and other evidence obtained as a result of those statements that would not have otherwise been inevitably discovered are excluded.

Fast forward to today about complaints about listening to terrorists phone conversations and whether our troops should mirandize every bad guy they capture and you get a sense that maybe we need to maybe make life harder on terrorists and not the U.S. government.
